Jntroduction. 


^HE  GUIDE  was  written  to  satisfy  a  long  felt  need.  The  tourist 
passes  many  places  of  interest  because  he  has  no  guide,  and 
no  one  to  tell  him.  He  frequently  misses  many  things  of  im- 
portance because  he  does  not  know  where,  or  how,  to  find  their. 
One  frequently  loses  time,  and  spends  much  money,  that  might  be 
saved  by  having  a  good  guide  book.  How  many  times  the  student 
has  returned  to  finish  an  incompleted  tour,  because  he  had  afterwards 
learned  of  so  many  things  of  interest  that  he  had  missed.  The  his- 
tory and  geology  of  a  region  cannot  always  be  told  accurately  by 
even  those  living  in  proximity.  One,  with  a  guide  at  hand,  can 
plan  tours,  while  enroute,  and  save  much  time  and  be  spared  of  many 
inconveniences  and  •"♦irruptions.  After  many  years  of  experience  in 
travel,  I  have  found  it  always  the  cheapest  to  buy  a  guide,  even  if  it 
were  not  complete.  This  one  is  not  perfect,  but  much  time  has  been 
put  upon  it;  the  author  writes  from  experience  of  travel  in  the  regions 
considered  in  this  book;  has  studied  many  helps,  and  has  done  the 
best  he  could. 

Hoping  it  may  be  a  help  to  you,  and  that  it  may  be  your  con- 
stant companion,  I  shall  feel  very  grateful  if  it  in  any  way  adds  to 
your  sum  of  knowledge,  or  relieves  you  of  any  dej.  :.'  of  embarrass- 
ment or  anxiety  while  you  are  traveling.

Its  formation  by  glaciers,  its  grooved,  furrowed,  fossil  tilled  rocks, 
its  ancient  terraces,  its  many  other  geological  phenomena  make  it  of 
special  interest  to  the  geologist.     In  its  waters  are  found  tis^h  of  so    . 
many  kinds  and  in  such  quantities  that  it  furnishes  more  iish  for  the 
food  of  man  than  any  other  lake. 

In  its  marshes  are  fowl  and  game.  More  varieties  of  plants  bloom 
upon  its  sunny  shores  and  shaded  dells  than  any  other  place  ts 
rock  furnishes  lime  and  stone  f(^r  building,  its  gypsum  beds,  plaster 
and  chalk,  while  its  caves  glisten  with  stalactites  or  strontia  crystals 
of  rare  beauty. 

Thousands  of  acres  of  vineyards.  a:,d  orchards  of  peaches  and 
plum  trees  stretch  away  from  its  blue  waters  bewildering  the  eye  of 
the  beholder. 

Wonderful  historic  events  have  transpired  upon  her  waters  and 
her  shores     On  her  waters  the  Indian  plied  his  canoe  and  won  his 
dusky  mate.     The  ancient  Eries  melted  away  before  the  Iroqouis  and 
they  in  turn  before  the   Hurons  and  Wyandottes.     Here  they  have 
left  their  mounds  and  inscribed  rocks,  of  interest  to  the  antuiuanan. 
Here  Tecumseh  fought  the  pale  face  only  to  fall  b<>!oie  his  migh'. 
And  "Mad  Antony"  swept  down  upon  the  red  skin  with  such  venge- 
ance that  they  called  him  the  "cyclone  man".    Upon  her  shores  were 
built  forts  Wayne,  Industry,  Meigs,  Stephenson,  Huron,  Presque  Isle 
and   Erie  which  afforded  protection  to  the  white  man  and  the  true 
American,   and  their  ruins  today  tell  of  many  heroes  slain  and  of 
battles  fought  and  won.     Upon  her  waters  Perry  built  and  launched 
his  tleet  and  with  them  conquered  the  British  tleet  and  won  tor  himself 
laurels  that  shall  never  fade.      On  her  shores  Joshua  R.  Giddings

the  Financial  Agent  for  the  Nation,  handling  in  one  year  three  thou-

A  Nation's  Chief  Justice  walked  the  shores  of  Lake  Erie  and  the

Great  cities  and  industries  have  sprung  up  along  her  banks  and 
mighty  steamers  plow  her  waters.  More  than  fifty  lines  of  railways 
connect  with  her  boats,  and  thousands  seek  her  shades  for  rest,  pleas-

the  pioneer  in  reform;  he  advocated  and  put  in  practice  such  methods 
as  are  used  in  the  institution;  the  abolishment  of  mechanical  restraints 
and  the  use  of  continued  solitary  confinement;  and  the  substitution  of

with  the  utmost  liberty  possible.    There  are  34  cottages  at  present.

'TTF'ELLEVS  island  is  the  largest  ot  the  Islands  in  Lake  Erie. 
Jj^  belonging  to  the  United  States.  It  comprises  5,t)0(»  acres 
and  has  a  population  of  1,000  people.  It  lies  12  miles  north 
of  Sandusky  and  three  miles  north  of  the  mainland,  Marblehead 
Peninsula.  It  constitutes  a  township  of  Erie  county,  and  was  first 
known  as  Island,  No.  6.,  then  as  Cunningham's,  and  when  pur- 
chased by  Datus  and  Irad  Kelley,    in  18H,  it  took  its  present  name. 

It  was  formerly  occupied  by  the  Indian  tribes,  many  marks  of 
their  occupancy  is  to  be  seen  to  this  day.  The  Island  was  formerly 
covered  by  a  forest  of  red  ceder  and  other  valuable  timber  but  it 
has  all  disappeared. 

Grapes  were  cultivated  tirst  in  1842,  and  the  soil  and  climate 
were  so  favorable  that  it  has  been  the  chief    product    of  the  Island;

The  ureat  ^^lacial  i:ro(>ve  is  near  the  Division  and  litus  Koad^  .i

Western  Reserve  Historical  Society.  throui;h  the  kindness  of  the  late 
Mr.  M.  C.  Yoiuii;l.)ve.  Prof.  Wrijjht,  in  '"Man  and  the  Glacial 
Period,"  best  describes  it  as  follows:  "The  portion  of  the  j;roove  pre 
served  is  thirty-three  feet  across,  and  the  depth  of  the  cut  hi  the  rock 
is  seventeen  feet  below  the  line,  extending  from  rinvto  rim." 

This  groove,  is  by  no  means  simple,  but  presents  a  series  of  cor- 
rugati(3ns  merging  into  each  other  by  beautiful  curves,  it  resembles 
a  collection  of  prostrate  Corinthian  columns  lying  side  bv  side  on  a 
concave  surface. 

The  direction  of  these  grooves  is  south  of  west,  the  line  of  the 
axis  of  the  lake.  Several  important  and  interesting  glacial  markings 
have  been  photographed  and  described  but  have  been'  destroyed. 

The  other  things  of  interest  on  the  Island  are  the  old  beach, 
which  is  near  the  Huntington  Street  Division,  and  the  Indian  mounds 
nearby,  and  the  "Inscription  Rock,"  which  is  on  the  south  shore,  just 
east  of  the  dock  farthest  east,  and  a  few  hundred  feet  east  of  the  prin- 
ciple dock. 

This  rock  is  pronounced  by  schoolcrafts  to  be  the  most  exten- 
sive, well  sciilptured  and  best  preserved  inscription  of  the  antiquarian 
period  ever  found  in  America.  The  rock  is  a  limestone,  scratched 
by  the  glaciers,  sculptured  by  the  Eries;  it  is  33  feet  long,  21  feet  wide 
and  10  feet  high.  The  human  figures,  the  pipe  and  smoking  groups, 
denote  tribes,  negotiations,  crimes  and  turmoils,  which  tell  a  story  of

than  those  written  by  man.  The  many  features  of  this  peninsula 
and  of  other  portions  of  this  region  will  best  be  taken  separately. 

It  is  a  center  of  Aesthetic  Culture. 

"The  coves  of  the  rocky  shore  against  which  the  long  waves 
dash  in  white  foam  and  spray,  the  high  weather-beaten  docks,  the

conspire  to  make  Lakeside  a  beautiful  center  of  aesthetic  culture."" 

"From  the  hotel  piazza  hundreds  watch  the  changing  surface  of 
the  lake,  shifting  from  sea-green  to  molten  gold,  from  azure  to  pearly 
purple,  till,  at  length,  the  great  golden  sun-ball  sinks  into  the  wave, 
leaving  the  sky  flushed  to  the  very  zenith.  Against  the  precipitous! 
rocky  shores,  the  waves  play  mad  capers  when  storm  is  king;  around 
the  old  lighthouse  at  Marblehead  Point,  they  sweep  and  swirl,  then 
leaping  higher  and  higher,  spend  themselves  in  feathery  foam.  To 
describe  the  many  lovely  green  nooks  and  coves  in  and  about  Lake- 
side would  transcend  the  province  of  this  article.  The  old  quarry, 
stately  and  classic,  must,  however,  not  be  forgotten.  Imbedded  in 
the  coolest  and  mossiest  green  wood,  its  seamed  sides  vine-clad  and 
mellowed  by  age,  it  is  a  retreat  full  of  artistic  beauty  and  scientific 
interest."

BOTANY. 

The  rich  location  of  Lakeside  as  a  botanical  field  for  study  and 
investigation  has  but  recently  come  to  be  recognized,  as  a  matter  of 
fact,  few  places  can  be  found  so  advantageous  for  investigation  along 
the  line  of  weeds  and  plants,  fresh  water  algae,  curious  and  rare  wa- 
ter plants,  fern,  lichens,  both  those  on  the  trees  and  those  along  the 
coast.  The  ground  on  which  are  placed  the  cottages  furnish  most  in- 
teresting material  for  the  study  of  forestry.  Trees  are  found  here 
which  are  rare  elsewhere.  Those  interested  in  fungi  and  algae  will 
find  luxuriant  material  always  at  hand.  The  hot  rocky  shores  yield 
a  large  variety  of  flowers  of  gorgeous  coloring,  fed  by  water  near  at 
hand  and  developed  by  heated  air  from  the  rocks.  There  are  a  great 
variety  of  common  plants  found  here.  During  the  Assembly  Lake- 
side flora  are  studied  under  the  inspiration  and  leadership  of  men 
of  authority. 

Prof.  Mosley,  of  Sandusky,  an  authority  on  the .  Flora  of  Erie 
County  and  the  Island  region,  says:  "We  believe  there  is  no  other 
local  collection  of  Ohio  plants  that  approaches  within  three-hundred 
species  of  the  number  collected  in  the  past  seven  years,  in  Erie  coun- 
ty and  eastern  part  of  Ottawa  county,  and  now  preserved  at  the  San- 
dusky High  School." 

The  following  is  his  number  of  species  found  on  the  Islands,  612.

In  all  England  there  are  1200  native  phenogams.  In  Sandusky 
district  there  are  over  1 100. 

BATHING,    ROWING,    FISHING   AND  PLEASURE   EXCURSIONS. 

There  are  fine  bathing  beaches  at  Put-in-Bay,  Kelley's,  Cedar 
Point,  and  Sandy  Beach,  near  Lakeside.  You  will  find  pure 
water,  sandy  bottom,  no  stone  nor  dangerous  places,  reaching  out  for

flavel  at  low  rates,  and  tourists  rates  are  given  upon  all  lines  during 
the  season. 

There  are  many  excursions  that  may  be  taken  from  Lakeside  or 
from  other  points.  Excursions  are  run  almost  daily  around  the  Is- 
llnTs  for  25'«.  35  cents,  visiting  all  points  of  interest  which  are 
pointed  out  in  the  Guide.

the  east,  and  then  go  across  the  railroad  into  the  old  quarry,  where 
workmen  in  cutting  a  roadway,  discovered  the  most  wonderful  of  all 
glacial  grooves.    Prof.  Duval  says  of  this  quarry: 

"Several  remarkable  glacial  grooves  furrow  its  sides,  and  in- 
numerable fossils  are  incrusted  in  its  surface.  Professor  Frederick 
Wright,  of  Oberlin,  editor  of  Bibliotheca  Sacra,  one  of  the  foremost 
geologists  in  the  land,  brings  his  classes  to  Lakeside  each  year  for  the 
study  of  rare  geological  phenomena.  Many  other  scientists  resort 
here  to  pursue  their  investigations." 

Now  sit  down  and  study  the  geology  of  Ohio,  the  peninsula,  and 
the  Islands.     Page  45. 

You  can  go  on  to  the  government  light-house,  which  is  open  for 
visitors  daily  except  Sunday,  from  1  to  2  p.  m.  The  lady  who  keeps 
the  light-house  is  the  widow  of  the  man  who  was  appointed  light- 
house keeper  by  the  lamented  and  much  honored  Captian  Gridley, 
who  tired  the  first  gun  in  the  famous  battle  of  Manila. 

The  light-houses  of  our  country  are  under  the  Naval  departhient 
while  the  Life  Saving  Stations  are  under  the  Treasury  department  of 
the  nation.  Another  interesting  trip  by  carriage  or  boat,  and  any  of 
these  trips  can  be  taken  by  boats  landing  at  docks  convenient,  is  to  go 
around  the  Bay  View  road;  going  west  from  Lakeside,  then  sputh 
after  crossing  railroad,  going  now  south,  notteing  the  high  altitude 
above  the  lake  the  old  terrace  at  the  left  hand  sjde  as  you  go  south ; 
then  turning  east  you  see  Johnson's  Island  to  your  right,  a  half  mile 
across  the  bay.  This  body  of  water  is  Sandusky  bay,  the  mouth  of 
Sandusky  river.  Sandusky  city  lies  three  miles  south-east  of  you.  You 
pass  a  monument  which  will  not  be  noticed  without  some  care, 
just  south  of  a  spring  house. 

This  monument  stands  just  south  of  the  road  along  the  bay,  and 
near  it  is  a  spring  house  and  spring.  It  was  erected  in  memory  of 
three  men.  Mason,  Simonds  and  Mingus,  who  were  shot  by  Indians 
Sept.  29,  1812.  The  Indians  made  their  attack  upon  the  party  and 
drove  the  others  into  a  block  house  which  stands  near  the  stone  house 
just  east  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  road.     They  were  kept  here

three  days  without  food  and  water  until  sutficient  number  of  men 
could  assemble  to  drive  the  Indian  warriors  away.  Joshua  RGid- 
dings  was  one  of  the  number;  he  was  born  in  Pennsylvania,  m  l7.^ 
and  was  \1  years  old  at  the  time  of  the  action. 

After  Hull  surrendered  to  the  British,  Giddmgs  joined  the  U.  b^ 
Armv  After  the  seige  had  been  raised  and  the  men  were  deliver,  d 
from  the  fear  of  starvation  they  each  pledged  that  in  tlfty  years  from 
that  day  they  would  hold  a  reunion  of  the  survivors.  Joshua  R 
Giddings  in  1858,  while  a  member  of  Congress,  visited  the  peninsula 
and  leff  money  with  Mr.  Wright,  who  lives  near  by.  for  the  purpose 
of  erecting  the  monument  preparatory  to  the  reunion.  On  Septem- 
ber 29th  1862.  Mr.  Giddings  kept  his  word  and  went  to  the  spot,

Other  profitable  trips  may  be  taken.  To  the  Gj  psum  beds,  at 
Gypsum,  eight  miles  south-west,  going  by  Marblehead  railroad,  or 
by  carriage.  Here  are  gypsum  beds,  where  plaster,  or  better  known 
as  Plaster-of-paris,  is  dry  boiled,  for  it  is  calcined  by  heat.  The 
finest  parts  used  for  chalk,  and  the  coarser  parts  go  for  land  plaster  or 
fertilizer.  Gypsum  is  a  sulphate  of  lime,  formed  by  the  action  of 
SO,  or  sulphuric  acid  on  lime.  You  pass  through  a  great  fruit  coun- 
try in  going  to  Gypsum. 

You  can  return  to  Lakeside  and  refresh  your  mind  by  a  lecture, 
concert  or  some  wholesome  entertainment.  You  can  spend  a  quiet 
Sabbath  and  listen  to  earnest  and  faithful  sermons. 

Other  excursions  in  this  region  will  be  planned  from  Sandusky.

By  looking  on  the  map  you  will  see  that  you  are  situated  on  the 
Devonian  Limestone.  Just  west  of  you  is  the  more  ancient  Silurian. 
The  Devonian  shale  extends  along  the  shore  eastward  and  in  for  a 
few  miles  until  you  reach  Pennsylvania.  Here  a  portion  of  the  east- 
ern part  of  Pennsylvania,  is  the  lower  Carboniferous,  extending 
through  New  York  State,  along  the  lake  to  within  20  miles  of  Buffalo, 
where  begins  the  Devonian  and  near  Buffalo  begins  the  Upper  Silur- 
ian, which  continues  along  the  southern  shore  of  Lake  Ontario.  Now 
follow  the  line  of  terminal  moraine  in  Ohio;  all  west  and  north  of  the 
line  is  the  glaciated  region.  Next  the  Cincinnati  Axis,  which  in  other 
words  is  the  Trenton  Limestone,  which  defines  the  oil  and  gas  area 
of  Ohio  and  Indiana.  The  line  runs,  strictly  speaking,  northwest  and 
not  northeast  as  generally  taught.  It  extends  up  into  Indiana,  and  an 
arm  called  the  Lima  branch  enters  Ohio  in  Mercer  county,  which  runs 
to  Lima;  thence  northward  and  turning  westward  in  Wood  county 
towards  the  northwest  corner  of  the  state,  passing  through  Findlay 
where  occurs  a  monocline  of  marked  geological  interest.  The  rock 
falling  several  hundred  feet  in  a  few  miles.  You  take  up  the  study 
of  the  Lake  Erie  regions  with  interest.

company  of  editors  from  Georgia.  You  then  pass  along  the  shore

of  the  stockade;  run  a  line  south  thence  west  and  north,  thence  east 
and  south,  back  to  the  block  house,  and  you  have  .something  of  an 
idea  of  the  enclosure.  Three  hundred  yards  north  and  west  of  the 
block  house,  back  of  a  clump  of  trees,  was  the  old  fort;  a  notable 
conspiracy  took  place  in  1864.  in  connection  with  Johnson's  hi;  nd, 
in  which  an  attempt  was  made  to  capture  the  gunboat  Michigan, 
and  the  boats  running  between  Sandusky  and  T(tledo  and  Detroit, 
release  the  prisoners  on  the  Island  and  at  Columbus,  Indianapolis 
and  Chicago,  26,000  in  number. 

This  conspiracy  was  planned  by  the  arch  traitor,  Jacob  Thomp- 
son, at  the  seat  of  the  Southern  Confederacy,  and  was  attempted  by 
himself,  who  operated  in  Canada,  and  Colonel  Cole,  an  officer 
of  Gen.  Le.-'s  army,  John  Yates  Beall  a  wealthy  young  Virginian; 
also  an  officer,  and  a  female  spy,  Miss  Annie  Davis.  Cole  established 
himself  at  the  West  House,  Sandusky,  as  an  oil  speculator  and  dealer, 
from  Titusville,  Pa. ;  he  deposited  a  large  sum  of  money  in  the  banks, 
fared  sumptuously,  and  made  himself  a  warm  friend  of  the  ot!icers 
of  Johnson's  island  and  gunboat  Michigan. 

Beall  went  on  the  bo.its  of  the  lake  as  a  deck  hand  and  learned 
all  about  the  boats  and  aiTairs  along  the  lake  from  Detroit  and  Toledo 
to  Sandusky;  he  also  kept  in  touch  with  Thompson  and  his  accom- 
plices in  Canada.  Miss  Davis  assisted  Cole  in  his  work.  Cole  wrote 
business  letters  to  Major  Trimble,  a  prisoner,  at  Johnson's  Island;  he 
wrote  between  the  lines  with  an  invisible  ink  which  Trimble  devel- 
oped after  receivi:ig  the  letter  and  a  large  number  of  prisoners  were 
let  in  the  plot  under  the  most  solemn  oath  to  keep  it  secret  and  to 
strike  for  freedom  when  the  time  came. 

On  September  19.  1864,  was  the  day  set  for  final  action.  Cole 
had  arranged  to  banquet  the  otiicers  on  the  gunboat  Michigan  at 
night,  and  to  drug  them  and  give  a  signal  by  firing  a  cannon  for 
Beall  and  his  men  and  Cole's  men,  who  were  on  board  the  captured 
"Philo  Parsons"  and  in  fishing  boats  about  Sandusky.  Beall  had 
gone  on  board  the  Philo  Parsons  as  she  was  leaving  Detroit  for  San-

dusky  in  the  afternoon;  four  men  got  on  at  Sandwich,  and  about  six- 
teen at  Amherstberg,  putting  on  a  large  old  leather  covered  chest, 
but  no  suspicion  was  created.  When  the  boat  drew  near  the  mouth 
of  the  bay.  just  at  dark,  the  clerk  of  the  boat  was  covered  by  revol- 
vers an4  the  men  on  board  arniid  themselves  with  the  knives,  axes, 
revolvers  and  guns  that  were  in  the  old  chest,  and  took  the  "Philo 
Parsons"  in  the  nami  of  the  Southern  Confederacy. 

She  was  run  back  to  Middle  Bass  Island,  where  they  put  on  wood, 
and  wiited  for  thi  "Island  Queen"  to  come  up  on  her  trip  from 
Sandusky  to  Toledo.  When  the  Queen  came  up  along  side  of  the 
Par.^ons  she  was  boarded  by  the  conspirators  and  the  officers  were 
forced  to  surrender.  The  passengers  of  both  boats  were  put  ot?  on 
the  Island,  there  being  no  boats  there,  nor  any  means  of  communi- 
cation with  the  other  Islands.  They  took  with  them  Captain  Orr, 
of  the  'Queen,"  and  two  of  his  men  to  manage  the  boat,  tied  the 
two  boats  together  and  run  out  just  south  of  Ballast  Island,  where 
they  scuttled  the  "Island  Queen"  and  set  her  adrift.  .They  then 
proceeded  on  to  the  mouth  of  the  bay,  within  two  miles  of  the 
Michigan,  where  they  waited  for  the  signal.  But  no  sign  coming 
they  were  frightened,  lest  they  should  be  captured;  and  put  for  De- 
troit with  all  haste;  the  people  left  on  Middle  Bass  seeing  them  going 
with  all  speed  for  the  north.  They  left  Orr  and  his  men  on  Fighting 
Island  and  hastened  on  to  Sandwich,  where  they  robbed  the  boat, 
and  took  otT  into  Canada.  Cole  had,  in  the  meantime,  carried  out 
his  plot  so  far  as  to  be  ready  to  give  the  last  toast,  the  wine  ac- 
companing  it  was  heavily  drugged,  when  he  was  arrested  by  Capt. 
Carter,  who  had  been  let  into  the  plot,  either  by  an  intercepted  letter, 
or  the  betrayal  of  Cole  by  a  prisoner  on  the  Island,  or  by  the  bungle- 
some  manner  in  which  Cole  worked  his  part  of  it. 

There  are  several  accounts  of  the  discovery  of  the  plot.  He 
was  kept  on  board  the  Michigan,  and  then  put  on  the  Island, 
and  at  last  at  Lafayette,  and  when  the  war  closed  was  released. 
Beall  had  attempted  to  wreck  a  train  between  Dunkirk  and  Buffalo, 
was  arrested  on  the  Suspension  Bridge  Niagara,  tried  and  hung  on 
Govener's  Island,  Feb.  24,  1865,  the  others  escaped.

GLEVELiAND. 


CITY  -called  the  "Forrest  City"  on  the  south  bank  of  Erie  and 
both  sides  of  the  Cuyahoga  river.  1 38  miles  from  Columbus 
190  miles  from  Butl^^alo.     it  has  a  lake  frontage  of  eight  miles 

and  reaches  back  over  three  and  one-half  miles.     Population  300.000. 

It  is  built  on  a  slight  eminence  of  7'  feet  above  the  lake,   is  well 

drained,  a  healthy  and  beautiful  city. 

HISTORY   AND  GROWTH. 

It  receives  its  name  from  Gen.  Moses  Cleveland,  government 
land  agent,  who  first  surveyed  the  site.  Incorporated  as  a  village  in 
1814;  as  a  city  in  1836.  It  has  had  a  rapid  growth.  From  a  few 
log  houses  at  the  beginning  of  the  century  to  over  45,000  dwelling 
houses.  Its  palatial  residences  on  Euclid  are  not  unsurpassed  in  the 
west  and  by  few  in  America.  Some  of  these  costing  more  than 
$3o0,000  and  are  palatial  in  their  structure  containing  upwards  of 
seventy  rooms.     Some  were  three  years  in  building. 

The  mammoth  business  blocks  and  banking  buildings  prophesy 
the  future  greatness  of  Cleveland  as  a  commercial  center. 

It  contains  80,000  shade  trees  along  its  500  miles  of  streets. 
Many  of  these  streets  are  over  100  feet  wide  and  well  paved.  They 
are  lighted  by  more  than  8,000  electric,  gas  and  vapor  lights.  There 
is  over  3o  miles  of  river  and  lake  frontage  with  1 16  docks. 

Cleveland  has  twenty  swing  bridges,  and  forty  stationary  bridges, 
and  three  viaducts,  all  costing  over  $5,000,000.  The  tirst  viaduct 
erected  was  the  Superior  street  connecting  the  east  side  from  Superior 
street  with  the  west  side  at  Pearl  street.  It  is  a  solid  stone  structure 
3,211  feet  in  length,  containing  over  2,000,000  feet  of  masonry. 
The  weight  of  the  turn  table  and  span  together  is  700  tons  and  is 
opened  in  one  minute  by  steam  power.  The  Kingsbury  Run  Viaduct 
was  opened  in  1886  and  connects  Humbolt  street  on  the  east  side 
with  Davies  street  on  the  south  side. 

Cential  Viaduct  is  the  most  extensive,  connecting  Ohio  street  on

Fish  are  caught  in   gill  nets  and  in  pounds,  by  the  tons  daily  in 
the  season.    The^  cut  explains  the  pound  net.    The  tish   hatchery, 
(see  cut  elsewhere. )  is  on  Put-in-Bay.  west  of  the  docks,  where  "ifK).- 
0(K),()0;)    tish    eggs  can    be  hatched    at  one  time.     You  see    in  the 
picture  the  tish   batteries,  above  these  are  two  large  tanks,  each  con- 
taining 6.00(1    gallons  of  water;    which    are  tilled  from    the  lake  by 
pipes  and  pumps.    From  these  run  a  system  of  pipes  and  from  these 
smaller  pipes  earring  the  water  into  jars  that  contain  the  eggs.     The 
water  running  into  the   jar  near  the   bottom,  keeps  up  a  constant 
motion  which  is  necessary.    The  water  is  carried    ot^  in  troughs 
after  it  has  been  made  to  pass  eight  times  through  the  batteries.     The 
tish  are  taken  from  the  hatching  batteries  and  put   in  tanks  through 
which  water  runs  constantly.     As  wanted  they  are  put  into  the  lake 
or  other  places  where  needed.  -    ',  ,
